Forced into hiding during the Holocaust, the German-Jewish teenager Anne Frank (played by Lucy DeVito), her family and four others spent 25 months during World War II living secretly in an annex of rooms above her father's office in Amsterdam . Anne's diary, saved by one of the family's helpers, Miep Gies, was first published in 1947. Today, it is honored not only as a powerful and haunting legacy of the Holocaust; it is also an enduring tribute to Anne Frank's own spirit and her artistry as a writer.
Lucy DeVito makes her Intiman debut as Anne Frank. The cast also includes Matthew Boston (Mr. Frank), Alban Dennis (Mr. Dussel), Lindsay Evans (Margot Frank), Jim Gall (Mr. Kraler), Carol Roscoe (Miep), Shellie Shulkin (Mrs. Van Daan), Amy Thone (Mrs. Frank), Connor Toms (Peter Van Daan) and Michael Winters (Mr. Van Daan).
